Traffic Stop leads to recovery of Methamphetamine and two arrests.

On August 09, 2018, at approximately 9:45 PM, Deputy McBride was on routine patrol in Southern Vigo County when he observed a gray S40 Volvo passenger car traveling Southbound on US HWY 41, just South of Dallas Dr. Deputy McBride observed the vehicle to be spontaneously shifting lanes without using the required turn signals indicating a lane change and the Indiana license plate displayed did not match the vehicle he was following. Deputy McBride attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle Southbound on US HWY 41 however, the vehicle continued traveling Southbound on US HWY 41 before turning Eastbound onto Harlan Dr. The vehicle then accelerated through the parking lot of the Country Mark gas station located at 9950 S US HWY 41. The vehicle's path was halted by a series of trees.
 
Deputy McBride was able to successfully detain one male occupant before the driver, who was observed as a white female, exited the driver's side of the vehicle and fled on foot. Deputy McBride pursued the female on foot through an open field just East of the Country Mark gas station where the female was taken into custody.

During a search of Mallory and her belongings, approximately 14 small individually sealed baggies with suspected Methamphetamine was located. The Methamphetamine had a preliminary gross weight of 49.1 grams. Mallory was also found to be in possession of a large amount of cash and smoking pipes. Deputies learned that Mallory did not possess a Valid Driver's License and was suspended on a Regular Identification Card.
